original poem from 2011...

 

time flies...

hello,
Where have you been?
so much time passed
again.
since then life has changed
in ways, yet, somehow
stayed the same.
Everyone is older
rarely wiser from what's seen.
history repeats,
mankind weeps
and looks away.

Time flies...

It was January 2006 when I started this blog.
I had no idea what I was doing. It was strictly
trial and error at first until some kindly bloggers
shared their wisdom and some advice.

A lot of those bloggers aren't around anymore.
At least a dozen have died. Some disappeared
from blogging to explore FB or other formats.
I miss a lot of the old gang.
But, I am also very grateful for those few who have
continued to visit here in spite of my dwindling 
quality and quantity of product. It's a good feeling
to know I still have friends who visit and comment. 

 I intend to hang around here for a while longer.
At least until it becomes undeniably obvious that
I'm only talking to myself. And even then, the
babbling will probably continue.

*****

Happy Birthday, Mom. Wish you were here.

aaaaaaaaaaand it's October....

Whatthehell happened to September?

Having too much fun to keep track?

Too busy to pay attention?

The leaves are doing their annual color-burst show.

I really, really love Fall. How 'bout you?

time flies...

hello,
Where have you been?
so much time passed
again.
since then life has changed
in ways, yet, somehow
stayed the same.
Everyone is older
rarely wiser from what's seen.
history repeats,
mankind weeps
and looks away.

Here it is, again, so soon...

the weekend already.
Time now seems to pass
in weeks, not days.
months
roll by too easily,
another year will be gone in a minute.
I am getting older far too quickly.
